Christmas is cancelled

My daughter is now sick with the stomach bug because she just had to have a sleep over at her friends house. They just got over having this bug run through their entire family this past weekend. Plus they aren't the cleanest people so most likely haven't even cleaned their bathrooms or washed their sheets yet. sigh

The husband and son haven't had this yet so I'm sure being stuck in this shoe box of a house with only one bathroom will mean that everyone else will get it now. We really can't afford DH not to go to work.

I really don't think we will celebrate Christmas anymore cause about half the time some is sick and it stresses me out. Plus this house is too small for all of us to be stuck here together. I'm already stressed out from having the kids home for a week. There is no where for them to go and nothing to do in this house. It's too dang small!!! We have no money to move!! I'm losing my mind!!!

Sorry, I'll try to hang onto my sanity and not whine so much. I'm sure other's are experiencing things as bad or worse. But thinking that doesn't really bring me any comfort cause then I feel badly for them and just as bad for myself. Why do people tell you to think about others worse off then yourself when you feel bad? It's a stupid thing to do and doesn't help at all.

I'd give my right arm to escape from this house right about now. I'll be up all night cleaning up puke and tomorrow will be me just trying to stay awake long enough for the kids to go to bed. I've done this round before with this sickness crap and I think next year I'm asking for a "sick free Christmas" and a bigger dang house with a bathroom for every person. If I don't get it then Christmas is cancelled from now until I get a new house with lots of bathrooms.

We don't even have any food for Christmas supper so it will be sandwiches for me Christmas day. But then I'm sure I won't feel much like eating after cleaning up puke all day and night. I guess I'll just pass out vomit bags to the family for Christmas from now on. It's one dang day of the year and almost half or more of them one of the kids is really sick. It means I'm stuck at home with the kids and DH ends up taking a work shift, Merry Crapmiss to me!

There is a huge difference between being frugal and not being able to afford things. I am both. I do all the usual things to save money because I think it's important for the environment. I'd do those things even if I had tons of money.

But there are days when beings poor really blows, like today. We used to have a basic cable package. It wasn't really expensive but we decided to cut it because it wasn't worth the money. Instead we decided to invest in Netflix. For only $8 a month you can watch a bunch of older movies. For those of you in the US you get many more movies than we do in Canada. Actually the service kinda sucks in Canada but they just started to offer their service in Canada so I'm hoping things will improve. I'm getting rather sick of all the crap movies they offer, but in comparison we didn't get anything better on cable.

Tonight I was looking forward to watching a British Comedy I'd found. I sit down all comfy with my blanket …

This year I am trying to read more. I used to read lots of books but not so much anymore. I have a ton of books I must get to reading just so I can get them out of my house as they are starting to take over my living room shelves. I just started this goal last month and so far have read four books.

I read "Gone Feral" by Novella Carpenter. It wasn't too bad but I've read one of her books already so I knew I'd like it. It's about her quest to connect with her father.

The second one I read was "in a Dark, Dark Wood" by Ruth Ware. It's a horror/ mystery book and wasn't too bad. It jumped back and forth in time which always confuses me so not my fave writing style but was a clever story that had you guessing right till the end.

The third book was "The Witches of New York" by Ami McKay. It was set in the early 1900's (I think, don't quote me on that) and didn't have the strongest story line but I liked it. These tw…

I love Halloween and all the fun surrounding it. But today I was watching TV and noticed that Unicef was advertising about collecting during Halloween. Now I'm not against giving to charity at all and I'm sure Unicef does wonderful things for people in need I'm against making Halloween about giving to charity. Can't we just have one holiday where it's about the actual holiday? Do we have to piggyback a charity with every holiday? I don't know about you but I'm already giving out free candy at Halloween and I resent having to feel like I "have" to give to Unicef too. If I wanted to give to Unicef I can do it at any time of year. Why don't they make their own Unicef holiday instead of stealing Halloween from the kids?

I know this may seem like a petty beef but it's what I've been thinking about and quite frankly it's bugging me. Our school hands the boxes out to all the kids and although it isn't mandatory to collect for Unicef it…
